Reducing Carbon Dioxide

At Climate Investments we invest in efficiency solutions that lower the carbon footprint of the energy, industrial and transport sectors. In other words, support innovation that can deliver the same goods and services but with a lower carbon intensity.

Recycling Carbon Dioxide (CCUS)

Every year, more than 37GT of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere and this carbon dioxide adds up to cause warming.

At Climate Investments, we invest in breakthrough technologies that will capture this carbon dioxide and recycle it into products or store it safely. This cycle is called Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) and creates a circular economy for the carbon dioxide. We also invest in projects that demonstrate the commerciality and scalability of the CCUS value chain.
